Why are they so hard to fly in video games compared to planes?>Accelerates like a tired cow>Going up takes ages>Turning either slower than an American in his mobility scooter OR super sudden and looses all momentum >Single machine gun shot can and will bring the whole helicopter downCompare this to quadcopters even middle schoolers can master
git gud
Arma Reforger's helicopters feel really good, hopefully they don't fuck up Arma 4 too badly.
>>736397401If you think you know just how godawful helicopter handling can get, try flying one in Squad. It's impossible without dozens of hours of baking muscle memory into yourself. I view people who opt for piloting in Squad as some mix of wizard and masochist.
>propellerslole
>>736397401it's really notyou can learn how to fly a Huey in like 30 minutes in DCS
>enter heli>bruce springsteen's born in the usa starts playing
>>736399036They really should make the maps bigger if they want to add tanks and attack helis, mortar is already busted and if they add proper artillery like howitzers the whole map would be shelled 24/7
>>736397401
>>736397401Unless its a simulator game, the controls should be:>space goes up>control goes down>WASD accelerates in a directionEverything that is not this is bad heli controls.
.
What is really fucked up is vortex ring state. Any game that does not simulate VRS is giving you easy mode. It must be God's punishment against the hubris of man to design a flying machine that is not shaped like a bird, because it basically punishes you for attempting to hover in an aircraft designed to hover?>a descent of over 5 feet per second without forward airspeed? i'm gonna have to kill you for that
>>736397401The only games where helicopters handle like garbage are the Battlefield games.
>>736397401OP are per chance retarded?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKqrBc2C2XA
Bump
How come vee is full of söyboys who pop out of nowhere whenever guns are mentioned but helis or planes never get any attention?
>>736397401Helicopters are easy it is called not being a bitch and learning what each control sensitivity does and how it would affect the flight model.
>>736397401I remember killing millions with the scout heli in bf3 and maybe 4 as well it's been awhile. That shit felt so good.
>>736409035That wasn't Red Orchestra 2
>>736408953Game?
https://youtu.be/x01dwU6RgMc
>>736408953is this nuclear option?
>>736397401The helicopter you posted is literally a giant brick irl. Very poor handling and turning, but it could get to a pretty good speed. Something like the Little Bird or Apache is a lot more maneuverable.
>>736397401i miss flying helis in Project Reality man. too bad that game is all ESLs now
Fuckin crazy that the word helicopter doesn't mean something that helicopts.It's made up of "helico" like helix, and "pter" like wing.So we should really be pronouncing it like heh-leeko-ter
>>736412446>pretty good speed.Its literally the fastest attack heli ever made
>>736397401I was wondering why this image seemed so familiar and then remembered reading somewhere years ago that the reason that one city builder, workers and resources, was so broken, was because devs used the same engine they use when making a helicopter flying game. And looks like this is the game they were talking about.
>>736412214>>736412423Yeah that's Nuclear Option. Update when Mitch?!
>>736408953Stupid VRS... I just want to hover into a gentle landing, not slam the landing gear into the ground
>>736413218Aren't the devs Czech? Why do they have a crush on SSSR?
>>736413261Thanks
Should i get a HOTA? Is the Aliexpress one good?
>>736397401You just need to git gud
>>736412938thank you for the correction.
>>736397401I played the living fuck out of Gunship 2000 as a kid, don't remember how the controls were but easy enough for a 10 year old to have fun.
Mil24 Crocodile to Arma Reforger when?
>>736412152Much nigga! I swear being high on weed made weird maneuvers somehow easier, at least in bf3. People got so mad. :D
As I kid I used to think the people who could fly helos in Project Reality were coolest motherfuckers ever
Arma pilots suck
>>736413543Slovakia, they don't like communism and know utopia can only be reached in a video game
>>736414656>"We hate USSR so much it's unreal, communism made us poor and stole my culture o algo">"Anyways, here's my 1488th video game set in the USSR that i meticulously researched to make it as close to IRL USSR as much as possible"
>>736415541Correct, there is no glorification of it in the game, it's a reality they lived with. Their Community Update #4 or whatever mentions this because they have a holiday celebrating their independence. I don't expect you to care or comprehend it
>>736415885Imagine being so butthurt over something that happened almost 40 years ago you make multiple video games about it, worse than niggers crying over slavery
>>736416115You are the butthurt one, anon
>>736397401>>Accelerates like a tired cow>>Going up takes ages>>Turning either slower than an American in his mobility scooterThey make them like this because anyone who played BF3 or ArmA3 knows how fucking overpowered someone halfway competent in a helicopter can be.
Strike series
>>736416193>ArmA helis>overpoweredThe same helis that get gunned down 30 seconds after appearing over a base?
>>736397401They are the ultimate npc filter vehicle.>can stop and turn in one place>can go sideways >lose altitude while accelerating if you do not compensate with trottle >can hide behind cover and pop out to shoot>make it as comfortabele as possible for your copilot to mow down as much as possibleIf you can do those basic things in your avg chopper vidya you are already mogging 90% of all gamers.Even some gamers that consider themselves "good" chopper pilots still do braindead strafing runs like a plane cause they are too uncomfortable to drop speed fast and circle the target.
>>736397401because they don't want to be airborne and gravity doesn't you airborne either. at least planes are aerodynamic and are made to fly. rotors are just fighting against the inevitable. insane that people get in those things
Is there a way to deal with huey gunships as a mi8 in reforger? Air superiority
>>736417562Idk my impression after messing a bit in flight academy is that they're just planes that look funny
>>736397401Different method of lift requires a different understanding of avionics.
>>736417606Helicopters are the ultimate expression of human autism.We build a machine that flails and reees so hard at the sky that even nature just sighs and gives it what it wants aka going up
>>736416115y u mad tho
>>736418624You've made me laugh and have earned a Jesus nut.
